Lithuanian Foreign Minister
Gabrielius Landsbergis gave a harsh response to the demands of the illegal authorities of Belarus to extradite Belarusian citizens who stay in Lithuania for political reasons.
“We can tell the Belarusian regime that it’s rather hell will freeze over than we will start considering its demands,” the press-center of the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry quotes the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
- Lithuania has always been, and will be a wall behind which all democratic forces persecuted by the regimes can seek refuge. Thus, everyone who finds refuge in Lithuania can feel safe that they will not be extradited - neither for their struggle for democracy, nor for freedom of speech and religious views,” Landsbergis added.
